Chapter 4: Notes
Footnote 72:
Many additions and changes in the house were made from 1816 on; a top
storey and a Picture Room of 1825-6 behind No. 14 were the most
consequential. See Soane, J., _Description of the House and Museum on
the North Side of Lincoln’s Inn Fields_, London, 1832; enl. ed.,
1835-6.
Footnote 73:
See Note [17], Chapter 1. The new interiors were built in 1818; the
front and side façades were rebuilt in 1823.
Footnote 74:
St Pancras is really based on Gibbs’s St Martin’s-in-the-Fields as
regards the exterior; but all the features have, so to say, been
translated into the Greek of the Erechtheum. See Inwood, W. and H. W.,
_St Pancras New Church. Specifications ..._, London, 1819; and Inwood,
H. W., The _Erechtheion at Athens_, London, 1827.
Footnote 75:
See Smith, H. C., _Buckingham Palace_, London, 1931.
The palatial character of Cumberland Terrace is due to the fact that
it faced the site of an intended summer palace in the Park planned for
George IV but never even begun.
Footnote 76:
See Pevsner, N., ‘British Museum 1753-1953’, _Architectural Review_,
CXIII (1953), 179-82.
Footnote 77:
See Rolt, L. T. C., _George and Robert Stephenson_, London, 1960.
Footnote 78:
See Fort, M., ‘Francis Goodwin, 1784-1835’, _Architectural History_, I
(1958), 61-72.
Footnote 79:
See Whiffen, M., _The Architecture of Sir Charles Barry in Manchester
and Neighbourhood_, Manchester, 1950.
Footnote 80:
See Dobson, J. J., _Memoir of John Dobson_, London, 1885.
Footnote 81:
In one sense the Baths of Caracalla provided Elmes’s model, since the
size of the great interior there was intentionally exceeded here; in
another sense, this was a grandiose development of Wren’s relatively
modest interior of St James’s, Piccadilly. Just as Gibbs was
translated into Greek by the Inwoods at St Pancras’, Wren was
translated into Latin here, but with less precision of vocabulary.
Footnote 82:
See Parker, C., _Villa Rustica_, 3 vols, London, 1832, 1833, 1841; 2nd
ed., London, 1848.
